Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 times a number is 5n. We need to subtract 6 from that, so we have 5n-6 for any value n.

Answer:

D. 5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

6 less means -6

The product of 5 and a number means 5 x n which is the same as 5n

And it wants us to subtract 6 from 5n

so we would write it as...

5n - 6

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST!!! Pls help! Determine the coordinates of the point on the straight line y=3x+1 that is equidistant from the

iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

$d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}$

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

$d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}$

Now , these distance are equal :

$h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2$

Solving above equation , we get :

$P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})$

Hence , this is the required solution.

Scientists have discovered a vaccine for a debilitating disease. This year there were 570,000 reported new cases of the disease

Ket [755]

Answer: There are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population = 570000

Rate at which population decreases is given by

$\frac{2}{3}$

Now,

First year =570000

Second year is given by

$570000\times (\frac{1}{3})$

Third year is given by

$570000(\frac{1}{3})^2$

so, there is common ratio ,

it becomes geometric progression, as there is exponential decline.

so,

$570000,570000\times \frac{1}{3},570000\times( \frac{1}{3})^2,......,570000\times (\frac{1}{3})^6$

a=570000

common ratio is given by

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1}{3}$

number of terms = 6

Sum of terms will be given by

$S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}$

We'll put this value in this formula,

$S_6=\frac{570000(1-(\frac{1}{3})^6}{(1-\frac{1}{3})}\\\\=853827.16$

So, there are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Ann studied the effects of watching television on time spent exercising

34kurt

The response variable in the study that Ann has done here can be said to be Time spent exercising.

<h3>What is a response variable?</h3>

This is the name that is used to refer to the dependent variable. This is the variable that is of interest in the study. The goal is to see the changes that occurs in the particular variable based on the actions that another variable would have such as the independent variable.

From this we can see that The response variable in the study that Ann has done here can be said to be Time spent exercising.
